Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups toasted walnut halves or pieces
1/3 cup packed cilantro leaves
1/3 cup packed basil leaves
1/3 cup packed parsley leaves
1 teaspoon of each, fenugreek and coriander, crushed
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika or ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric or saffron threads
1 tablespoon red wine or sherry vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 whole medium eggplants, unpeeled, sliced lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick, to get about 16 to 18 slices
Pure olive oil for roasting eggplant slices

1
Wash and cut of the tops and bottoms off the eggplants. Cut lengthwise into 1/4 inches thick slices. Sprinkle the slices generously with salt and let stand in a large colander over a bowl at least 30 minutes; then rinse well under running cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Brush eggplant slices with oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in 400-degree preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping eggplant halfway through cooking.
3
Place first 10 ingredients and 1/4 cup water in a food processor; puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning, add whatever you think the mixture needs (I added some lemon juice) and set aside.
4
When eggplant has cooled about 10 minutes, begin the rolling process. On each slice, put about 2 tablespoons of walnut mixture. Spread it on the eggplant and then roll.
5
To serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter and sprinkle them with fresh cilantro, flat-leaf parsley or pomegranate seeds. Enjoy.
